Reminiscing with Your Loved One

Depending on their progression stage, individuals with dementia benefit cognitively and emotionally from reminiscing. Even if they are non-verbal or unable to remember the stories, caregivers who share memories of their loved ones’ past provide security, belonging, identity, love, and positive emotions to those living with dementia. StoriiCare explains what it means to reminisce, some of these helpful outcomes of the practice, and different tools carers can use to spark recollections, such as Google Earth and online archives.
